(<=) A list of the 32 members elected in Feb. 1717 (including the King, as
governor) of this notorious company (founded 1702-03, 1 Anne), is given in
Stow's London (edit. 1720), vol. v, 272. In Aug. 1720, its shares attained their
maximum (£1,000 for every £100), but before Christmas it had entirely collapsed,
ruining thereby many thousands of families, as well as the (in some cases
innocent) directors, all of those who were M.P's being expelled from Parliament.

of Spain, then at war with England, in which service he was actively employed
between 1 April and 11 May 1707 (see O'Callaghan's Irish Brigades, pp. 232, 239,
243, 245 and 249), and before 19 Jan. 1712/3, when one of his children was hap.

Elizabeth." The date, " 18 Feb. 1742," given in Beatson's List, and in the list in
Betham's Bai onetage is clearly an error, and refers to the date 18 Feb. 1741/2,
being that on which he was made Lieut.-General.

under the erroneous date of 18 Feb. 1742, as to which see p. 13, note " c "), is
placed in Beatsou's List of such Baronetcies, and in that in Betham's Baronetage

what ground is unknown. Solly's /Hiie.c [1880] follows the above, adding " s.p.

PERROTT, or PERROT :{')
1716, or 1711(<=) to 1759?
" Sir James Perrot," one of the children of " Richard
Pekrott," by " Anne, da. of Gabriel Smith, of the Brookhouse, in
Cheshire," is alleged (though apparently untruly) to hare been " employed
in many capacities by the GoTernment, and, on his relinquishing a
balance due to him for the redemption of British slaves " is alleged to
have been " cr. a Baronet, 1 July 1716, (c) with limitation to the eldest
son of his brother Richard and his heirs male, but nbt permitted to
take rank from the original grant of this dignity to Sir Francis PERR0TT,(d)
Knight and Baronet, 29 June 1611."(^) This alleged grant of 1611 was,
however, undoubtedly fictitious.
(^) See an account of this family, in Wotton's Baronetage, 1st edit. 1727.
C') This John was son of John Dutry, of Thonnin, in the province of Guienne
in France, said to have been son of " one of the Prime Ministers at the Court of
Governante of the Netherlands, the Dutchess of Parma," but to have been dis-
inherited by his father for having become a Protestant. See note " a " above.
(>-■) The date, 1 July 1717, is assigned to the Perrott creation in " the list of all
the Baronets from their first institution," given in Kiniber's Baronetage [1771],
presuming the grantee there called " Robert Perrot, of Richmond, Surrey, Esq. "
(whose Baronetcy was then [1771] " claimed by Sir Richard, who has no patent "),
to be the same person as the " Sir James " in the text. This date of 1717 is
copied in Courthope's List of all the Baronetcies of England, but inasmuch as
the date of 1 July 1716, is that of the precedency granted to Sir Richard Perrott
by the Royal Warrant of 3 Jan. 1767, the date of 1717 is presumably an error for
1716. No creation of a Baronetcy of Perrot under either date is to be found
in Wotton's Baronetage [1741].
(*) Francis is apparently meant for Thomas, it being stated (see note " e "
below) that Sir Thomas Perrott, who m. Dorothy, d. of Walter (Devereux), Earl
of Essex, and who d. s.p.m., " was cr. u, Baronet, 29 June 1611, but died before his
patent was made out." Not only, however, is there no warrant for such creation,
but the will of the said Sir Thomas Perrott was pr. 1594, and in 1595 his relict
was the wife of the Earl of Northumberland, more than fifteen years before this
alleged creation. .,„,,, -o r

by " Mr. T. L." [i.e., Thomas Lowndes, one of the booksellers whose names
appear in the title page to that work], which purports to give "a short
accouQt of Sir Richard and his family, from a curious pedigree left by him
in the hands of the late Mr. Kiniber." This mendacious account of the
family is, for the most part, the authority for the statements in the text, as
above. The earlier portion is stated to be based on a pedigree (deducing the
family from " Brutus, who first inherited this land, which after him was called
Britain about 116 years before the birth of Christ"), which purposes to be
made by one Owen Griffiths, who was wounded in Carew Castle, in 1650, by
the side of his master. Sir James Perrott, " Marquis of Nerberth," etc. There
was, however, no siege of Carew Castle in 1650 (which indeed had surrendered
in 1644), neither was there any Marquess of Narbeth, though the pedigree
(which, of course purports to have been compiled at some date after 1650) is
dedicated to him. This Sir James Perrott, who is stated in one part of this
account to have had a warrant from Charles I for his creation as " Marquis
of Narbeth, Earl and Viscount Carew, and Baron Perrott," and to have been
in command at Carew Castle in 1650 is, however, stated elsewhere therein,
to have died in 1641, though (as a matter of fact) his will was pr. as early as
May 1637. Thomas, elsewhere called Francis (who d. in or before 1594), elder
br. of this James, is said to have been cr. a Baronet in 1611, though that date
is more than fifteen years after his death (see p. 33, note "d"). This Sir Thomas
had in reality but owe " da. and sole heir" [Top. and Gen. ii, 501], Penelope,
who m. (1) Sir Thomas Gower, and (2) Sir Kobert Naunton, but another da. is
here (falsely) assigned to him, viz., Dorothy, who is alleged to have m. her cousin,
James Perrott, and to have been ancestress of the (so called) Baronet of 1767, said,
in her right, to quarter the arms of " Devereux, Earls of Essex." The said James
is stated to be s. of Thomas, s. of Owen Perrott {d. 1597), who is said to
have been a yr. br. of Sir John Perrott, K.B., the Lord Deputy of Ireland
(father of Sir Thomas Perrott, the alleged Baronet of 1611), both being sons of
Sir Thomas Perrott, of Haroldston, co. Pembroke. — No such Owen Perrott,
however, nor any such Dorothy ever existed. (See B. L. Barnwell's Notes on the
Perrott Family, 1867, p. 62). This James Perrott, said to have been in right of
his mother, "Lord of Wellington under Dinmer, oo. Hereford," is stated to
have had three sons, by this apocryphal Dorothy, viz. (1) Sir Herbert Perrott
[whose will was pr. Sep. 1683] ; (3) James Perrott, who d. 1683, and was bw,
at Haverfordwest; and (2) Francis [called a few lines lower "Thomas")
Perrott, of Upper Bignall Hill, who is stated to have been father of Richard,
the father of James Perrott, stated therein to have been cr. a Baroi\et, 1 July
1716, and of Richard, father of " Sir Richard Perrot, the present [1771] Baronet."
The above genealogy is thns spoken of as early as 1811 in Fenton's weU-known
Historicid Tour through Pemhrokeshire, "The pedigree this charlatan Baronet
delivered in, is a most curious travesty of the genuine one appertaining
to that family * * * and may throw some light on the history of a man, who
blazed on the town about thirty-five years ago, and practised his imposture so
successfully that there exists a fiat of his present majesty, dated 3 Jan. 1767
* » * for his taking rank and title from 1 July 1716." T. C. Banks (in his
Baronia Angl. Cone, vol. ii, p. 1167) speaks (1) of this warrant as " declaratory of
honours that were never granted," and (2) of the pedigree as a compilation that
" one would imagine was rather the fruit of a disordered mind than the
produce of a serious research and faithful representation."
(a) This view is adopted in Burke's Baronetage (1902), but there is no such
person as a Robert Perrott, in the pedigree supplied by Sir Richard to Kimber s
Baronetage [1771], the said Richard being therein stated to have succeeded Us
uncle, James Perrott, the grantee in the Baronetcy.

" Robert Perrot, of Richmond, Surrey, Esq.," stated to have
been cr. a Baronet, 1 July 1717,(^) and whose death, as "Sir Robert
Perrot, Bart.," is stated to have ta.ken place at Brussels, 29 May 1759. (•=)
No such Eobert Perrott, however, is mentioned in Sir Richard's pedigree
(see p. 33, note " e "), and no patent, sign manual, docquet, nor any other
document exists to indicate that any person named James, or Eobert
Perrot, was created, or was intended to be created, a Baronet iu 1716 or
1717. A Royal Warrant, however, dated 3 Jan. 1767, was obtained,(''.) in
which it is stated that " to avoid all doubts and disputes about the rank
and precedency of Sir Richard Perrott, Baronet " (whose relationship,
however, to any former Baronet is not indicated), the place, rank, pre-
cedency, etc., of a Baronet, to commence from 1 July 1716, are granted to
him and the heirs male of his body. This grant of the precedency of a
Baronetcy of 1 July 1716, made by a Royal Warrant, dated more than
fifty years later, will (though more properly belonging to the date of
the said warrant, 3 Jan. 1767) be dealt with (for the sake of convenience)
under the date of 1 July 1716.

{^) Oent. Mag. for 1759. In that publication for 1769 is the death in Nov. of
" Sir Richard Perrot, DiMin." This last person, however, is not styled a Baronet.
It is to be observed, however, that the then [1771] Baronet is spoken of as
" Sir Richard Perrott," as early as 24 Oct. 1758 (see p. 33, note " c "), while it is
stated in J. 6. Nichols's article (see note " c " below), that " he sue. as 2d Baronet
in 1731."
(c) See an able article in the Her. and Gen. (vol. viii, pp. 314-324 (by its
accomplished editor, John Gough Nichols, F.S.A., a most acute genealogist),
entitled " Sir Richard Perrott, a soi-disant Baronet." The words used therein,
as applied to the Royal warrant of 3 Jan. 1767, are, that it was " surreptitiously
obtained " ; and the grantee is styled " one of the most daring pretenders to
title and pedigree in the last [i.e., the eighteenth] century." The matter is
fully dealt with in that article, and the proceedings described therein appear
to justify the strong language used above.
(^) According to the Royal warrant, dated 3 Jan. 1767, and signed " H. S.
Conway," whereby "to avoid all doubts and disputes about the rank and
precedency of our trusty and well beloved subject Sir Richard Perrott, Baronet,"
it is declared that he " and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, shall
have and enjoy in all places, assemblies and meetings, the place, rank, pre-
eminence, precedency, privileges and immunities of, or belonging to the degree of
a Baronet of this our Realm, and to take place and commence as from 1 July
1716." No Royal warrant, it is believed, ever has or ever can create a hereditary
dignity (such as that of a Baronetcy or Peerage), and though such warrant can
direct letters patent of creation to be issued, or can refer to any such patent
that had previously been passed, this [most extraordinary] warrant does
neither. The effect of this Royal warrant is, apparently, not to create a Baronetcy,
but to give to its recipient and " the heirs male of his body " the style and
precedency of a Baronet of the creation of 1 July 1716. See J. G. Nichols's
article (note " e" above), as to the obtaining of this document. As to the date
of 1 July 1716 or 1 July 1717, which is that of a Baronetcy alleged to have
been conferred on James Perrot and Robert Perrott, respectively, see text,
pp. 33 and 35, under these respective dates.

da. of Isaac Wyke, of Waoton, co. Herefor(i,(^) was b. probably in or
shortly before 1716, and is said to have sue. to a Baronetcy conferred on
his uncle, James Perrot, 1 .Tuly 1716, with a spec. rem. in his faTour.('')
The date of his succession to this alleged Baronetcy is stated to have
been in 1731, (c) but a notice (Gent. Mag., 1759) of the death at Brussels,
29 May 1759, of a " Sir Bohert Peerot, Bt.," coupled with an alleged
creation (see above) on 1 July 1717 [not, however, 1716], as a Baronet,
of "Robert Perrot, of Richmond, Surrey, Esq., now claimed by Sir Richard,
who has no patent " (see List of all the Baroiiets in Kiraber's Baronetage
[1771]), rather suggests that Robert{^) (not James) was the uncle he
purported to succeed and that 1759 (not 1731) was the date of such
succession. It is to be observed that there is no reference in this
warrant to any Baronetcy of the date of 1 July 1716 having ever been
granted, nor to the Christian name [Qy. James or Robert?] or surname
IQy. Perrot ?] of the grantee, but the date is that of the Baronetcy
alleged by the grantee of the warrant of 1767 (*) to have been conferred
on his uncle " Sir James Perrot," with a special remainder to himself.
This Richard Perrot is stated to have been " of a military genius and
in service in East India before he was 14 years old," and to have received
from Frederick, King of Prussia, a [most extraordinary] commission
(called in J. G. Nichols's article [see p. 35, note " c "] a "pretended com-
mission"), dated 24 Oct. 1758, in which that King "confided solely to
him the sole care of his intended marine," with instructions to destroy
the ships of the Empress Queen, the King of Sweden, and the Grand
Duke of Tuscany. The comment added thereto is that " A Lord High
Admiral of Great Britain could not have been vested with more extra-
ordinary powers. "('■) He however procured a Royal warrant (said to
have been "surreptitiously obtained, "('^) dated 3 Jan. 1767 (in which he
is styled "Sir Richard Perrott, IBaeonet"), whereby, to avoid all
doubts about his rank or precedency, he and the heirs male of his
body are granted the rank, precedency, privileges, etc., of a Baronet,
(") In the pedigree put forth by him (as to which see p. 33, note " f"") his
mother is said to be " Rebecca, da. of Isaac Wyke, of Wacton Court, in Hereford-
shire, Esq., paternally descended from Wyke, a Knight, to whom William the
Conqueror granted divers lands," etc. No description or place of residence is
given to his father (said in Burke's Baronetage for 1902 to have been "of
Broseley, Salop"), but these particulars have been supplied by an article in the
Oeiit. Mug. for Feb. 1770, entitled " Particulars of the noted Perrot, who presented the
Fliiil petition," where it is stated that "The pretended Baronet is plain D—k
P — t, the second son of one P — t, a decayed Distiller, of Mardol, in Shrewsbury ;
his elder brother an Apothecary, but now practices as a Physician at Tewkesbury,
by virtue of a diploma from Leyden."
(*") According to the recipient's account (as to the value of which see p. 33,
note " e," circa finem) printed in Kimber's Baronetage [1771], and, apparently
according to that account alone.
(<:) The words in J. G. Nichols's article (see p. 35, note " r") are, "He
succeeded, we are told, as 2d Baronet in 1731," but it does not appear therein
where "we are told " of this fact.
(^) No such Robert, however, appears in the pedigree (see note " o " above),
and the [marvellous] commission (printed therewith) signed by Frederick, King
of Prussia, and dated 24 Oct. 1758, speaks of him [at that date] as " S'' Richard
Perrott." Possibly, however, as the commission is in French, and as neither the
word " Chevalier" nor that of " Baronet " is used, the " S""' does not necessarily
indicate that he was either.

to commence from 1 July 17 16. (a) He also claimed to have been
at the battle of Culloden in 1745 " in personal attendance on the
Duke of Cumberland," and to have been cr. a Baron by Louis XV of
Prance " with the privilege of the tabouret to his Lady and the wives of
his successors." C") A. very different account of his career previous to
1770 is given elsewhere. (-) He, undoubtedly, presented a loyal address
8 Jan. 1770 from " the Bailiffs, Corporation and borough of Flint " to the
young Prince of Wales, expressive of their disapproval of petitions for the
dissolution of ParliameutC) ; and his house " in Gloucester View, Park
lane," was not long after " dismantled " by cue of the Wilkes mobs and its
" costly effects " burned, though " in compensation he received a grant of
the ancient manor of Cheslemere (wherever that may be)," etc.(**) He m.

Capt. William Fordyce, Royal Marines, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to
George III. He d. in 1796,(^) and for about fifty years after his death
nothing appears about this Baronetcy. (f) His widow, to whom a pension
had been granted in 1789, was living at 25 Warren street, Pitzroy sqiiare,
Marylebone, 7 Deo. 1803.(8)
(a) See p. 35, note " d," as to the Royal' warrant. It may be observed that
(probably from inadvertence) nothing is said therein about the style of a Baronet,
but possibly the style of " Sir " may be considered as included among the
" privileges" belonging to that degree.
{^) See J. G. Nichols's article (as on p. 35, note " n ") where it is observed that
" To the initiated in Court etiquette this statement will appear scarcely less
ridiculous than the appointment to be Lord High Admiral of Prussia. The
privilege of the tabouret (or to be seated on a stool in the Royal presence) was
confined to the Duchesses of Prance and the wives of grandees of Spain, and
attempts to extend it to titular Princesses were jealous resisted. See the
Memoires du Due de Saint Simon."
(c) i.e., In the article in the Oent. Mag. for Feb. 1770 (as to which see p. 36,
note " a," where several very discreditable transactions as to swindling women out
of their fortune as well as character are recounted, and it is added that at
Worcester " he passed for a Knight of the Order of the Eagle of Prussia — that
was his travelling title there," and that " in 1760 he passed at Beverley, in York-
shire, for Admiral to his Prussian Majesty, and pretended a commission to
purchase shipping for that monarch, but Lord Rockingham, suspecting the
impostor, obliged him to decamp."
(■1) The following comments thereon occur in the Historical Chronicle of the
Oent. Mag. for Jan. 1770 : — " The concurring accounts that are published in the
papers of an infamous adventurer under the above name [i.e. that of Sir Richard
Perrot, Bart.} involve a mystery how such a man could procure an address, and
what means he could make use of to obtain countenance at Court to present it."

p. 35, note " c "J, but the date of death is omitted in later editions, e.g., those of 1871
and 1902.
(' ) The Baronetcy appears in Burke's Baronetage of 1847 for, apparently, the
first time, being certainly absent in that of 1841. It is not in Debrett's Baronetage
of 1819, 1824 or 1840, nor in Playfair's Baronetage (1809), nor (as an existing
creation) in Betham's Baronetage (1805), but in that work it is given in the list
of creations (under 1767, "with precedency from 1 July 1716"), being printed
initalics to signify that it was then extinct, being, presumably, so considered after
the death of the grantee of the warrant of the precedency of a Baronetcy of 1767.

name first appears in the parish register in a baptism (24 Feb.) of " Mary,

1618, left a large family (mostly bop. -at Bristol), and makes his brother,
Ambrose Elton, of the Hazles, near Ledbury, one of his executors. One of

according to Wotton's Baronetage [1741] (who states it to be " eie inform.
Ab. Elton, Bar., 1727"), were "of an ancient family, till lately of the Hazle in
Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire." This letter, dated 26 Sep. 1725 [sic], is
written in the third person, and is [1905] among the Addit. MSS. [24,120, fo. 301]
in the British Museum. The date of " 1727 " as ascribed to it in Wotton's
Baronetage [second edition 1741] means, no doubt, that the information was
given for the first edition of that work, which was issued in 1727.

Lord Fitzwalter (1295), who was cr., in 1730, Earl Fitzwalter. On his death, s.p.,
29 Feb. 1756, Fanny Fowler (afterwards Lady Bridges) became (in right of her said
grandmother, Frances Mildmay) one of the three coheirs of that ancient Barony.
C") Brook Bridges, the 1st s., was b. 14 Aug. 1766, aud'd. v.p. 9 July 1781.
(") Presumably this was done at Confirmation, but there is no indication as
to the date, which was probably after the death (9 July 1781) of his elder br.
Brook. There is a curious note on this ecclesiastical ■' assumption of a new
christian name" in Betham's Baronetage [1803], which, however, in Foster's
Baronetage is stated to have been done by Act of Parliament. An instance of
change of baptismal name is entered in the parish register of St. Finn Bai-r's
Cathedral, Cork, under 21 Sep. 1761, being that of Lieut. Robert St. George
Caulfield, 93d Foot, then presented for confirmation, who was permitted by the
Bishop to change his name of Robert St. George to that of William, and was
confirmed as William.
(*) A vulgar proverb says that " Kissing goes by favour," and the Whig
Ministry of the early Victorian period were scrupulously careful not to allow
any considerations of Equity or Desert to prevent the extension of this sound
maxim to the domain of abeyances. Sir Brooke's politics were Tory and this
ensured the rejection of his claim, and it mattered not at all that the abeyance
of numerous Baronies (e.g. Beaumont, Braye, Camoys, Hastings, etc.), were, at
or about the same time terminated, these being in favour of Whig claimants
(notwithstanding the fact that the said Baronies had been for centuries unheard
of and that the fortunate claimants in most cases represented a very small
fraction of them), while in this case the Barony of Fitzwalter had continued
uninterruptedly from 1295 to 1756, and the claimant (who in all probability
was heir tg the entirety) was undoubtedly the representative of a moiety thereof.

(a) Their marriage, 27 March 1654, is thus recorded at Stroud, co. Kent,
"Thomas Blunt, of Strood, Shoemaker (the son of John Blunt, of St. Sepulchre's,
London, Upholder), and Isabella Blacke, of Frindsbury (da. of Thomas Blacke,
yeoman), after three times being published." This entry (interesting as illus-
trative of the status of the alleged male descendants of the ancient Counts of
Guisnes) carries the grantee's pedigree as far back as to his grandfather, whereas
his very parentage had been ignored in all the Baronetages of the eighteenth and
of the nineteenth century. In the first edition [1727] of Wotton's Baronetage, he
is indeed said to have been " descended from the ancient family of the Blunts
in Shropshire," but these words are omitted (probably not without a good reason)
by the careful editor of that work in his second [1741] edition. In Debrett's
Baronetage [1840] it is said that " this family is supposed to be descended from
a junior branch of the Blounts of Sodington, which was seated at Eye and
Stretton, co. Hereford," but in Burke's Baronetage of 1871, the father of the
grantee {viz., " Thomas Blunt, of Rochester," ignored in the 1841 edition), appears,
together with the positive statement that " This is a branch of the ancient and
eminent family of Blunt or Blount," called (in earlier editions) " Le Blount,
descended from the Earls of Guisnes." Finally in Burke's Baronetage for 1902
the grantee's father is said to have been " Thomas Blunt, oi' Blount, of Rochester,
Kent, and formerly of ]Sye, Herefordshire," but as we now find that this Thomas
Blunt was a shoemaker at Stroud or Rochester from 1654 till his death in 1703,
and was the son of John Blunt of St. Sepulchre's, London, " Upholder," there
does not seem much probability of his ever having figured as " Thomas Blount,
of Eye," CO. Hereford. There is indeed a conjectural pedigree among Biglaud's
MSS., preserved in the College of Arms [R.B.G., vol. ii), deducing this Thomas
(the Baptist shoemaker) from the well known (Roman Catholic) family of
Blount, of Bye, co. Hereford, but it does not agree with the pedigree of that
family in the Visit, of Herefordshire, 1634.
(•>) There are no entries of births or baptisms of this family at St. Nicholas',
Rochester, prior to that of 24 July 1665, the births of the three elder children
(Thomas, Elizabeth, and Joane, 30 March 1655, 21 Feb. 1657, and 25 Oct. 1660),
being entered among the baptisms of Stroud.

further proceedings took place, possibly on account of his death, a few months
later, in Jan. 1732/3.

(c) This is the Lord Mayor, whose death (17 March 1688/9, aged 55) was

of the notorious Lord Chancellor Jeffreys, who had been " dragged into the
Justice room followed by a raging multitude " after his capture at Wapping.

which were left by his father(") to his [the said father's] nephew, Christopher
Codrington, afterwards Bethell-Codeington, as is mentioned below. This
Christopher, however, allowed him an annuity of £2,000 during his life. He, who
appears to have residfid chiefly in Brittany, in France, m.(^) Mary, da. of ( — )
KiEKE. She, who was b. about 1732 in Derby, d. s.p. 20 April 1789, aged 57, in
the Place de la Liberie, at Dinan, in Brittany. He vi. subsequently, (c) in or
(^) His being thus disinherited (whatever was its cause) was not from any
question of his legitimacy. There is a deed executed by the 2d Baronet
10 March 1769, in which he settles some estate on this son, William, by the
description of his " only son and heir apparent," which description is again
applied to him on a bond, dat. 20 May 1776, for raising £1,000. [See report of
3 Oct. 1827, as in note (— ) below].
C") It is possible that besides the two wives mentiened in the text, he m., as a
1st wife, " in July 1776, Mary, da. of the late Hon. William Ward," which lady
is the only wife assigned to him in Playfair's Baronetage [1811].
(") On the legality of this last marriage the question of the legitimacy of
the 4th Baronet depends. The only point that tells against this legitimacy seems
to be a letter from the Baronet, in 1812, announcing his marriage and the birth
of children to his cousin, Christopher Bethell-Codrington, the giver of the
£2,000 annuity, in which he writes that as he '* had been married before the
Church and not before the municipality, such marriage, not having been
according to the laws of France, could not be looked upon as valid in England."
This depreciation of the validity of his marriage was presumably made from
fear of losing the [liberal] annuity assigned to him, if he offended one whom he
probably had led to suppose would inherit the Baronetcy at his death. The
validity of the marriage and the consequent legitimacy of the issue is, however,
strongly supported, on the other hand, as below. There are attested copies
(1) Of the death, 20 April 1789, at Dinan, of " Mary Kirke, aged 57, wife of
William Codrington " j (2) Of a deposition that there was no issue of such
marriage; (3) Of the registration at Rennes by William Codrington, then
aged 69, of a male infant, born, 25 Jan. 1806, to him and Eleanor Kirke, his
wife, which received the name of William Raimond ; (4) Of the death at
Kennes, 13 Feb. 1816, of Dame Eleanor Kirke, aged 42^, native of London
(da. of Godfrey Kirke and Marie Holland), wife of William Codrington, an
English Baronet ; (5) The legitimacy of the said William Raimond Codrington
was allowed at the Probate Court, and succession duty of one per cent, (not ten
per cent, as in the case of a bastard) was paid. From enquiries made at Paris
in 1827, it was ascertained that the marriage with a deceased wife's niece was
valid there (as in England) if not set aside in the lifetime of the parties. [See
report of C. G. Young, York Herald (afterwards "Garter"), and G. P. Beltz,
Lancaster Herald, to the College of Arms, 27 Oct. 1827, previous to the entering

the first three (actual) Baronets as also those entitled to that dignity (he himself

I. 1731. Thomas Robinson, of Rokeby, co. York, Esq., 1st s.
and h. (out of seven sons) of William Robinson, of Rokeby afore-
said, by Anne (m. 1699), da. and h. of Robert Walters, of Cundall, in the North

the Middle Temple, 1722 ; was sometime an ofificer in the army ; was M.P. for
Morpeth, 1727-34 ; and was cr. a Baronet, as above, 10 March 1730/1, with a spec.
rem., failing heirs male of his body, to his four surv. brothers, William, Henry,
(») The date of the grantee's death in 1756, aged 61, is stated in Court-
hope's as also in Burke's Extinct Baronetage, and he certainly must be presumed
to have been alive when his cousin Cyril Wyche, of Hockwood, Norfolk, furnished
the information about the family to Wotton's Baronetage [1741], where, too,
the death is recorded, in 1740, of his sou Magnus Wyche. [The account in
Kimber's Baronetage, though dated as late as 1771, being merely an exact reprint of
the above, may be passed over.] The death, however, is recorded in the Gent.
Mag. of 1739 of " Sir Cecil Wyche, Bart., Minister to Circle of Lower Saxony, in
Holstein," on 30 April 1739, which, presumably (though a very accurate descrip-
tion of the grantee) is, as to the date, an error.
(•>) The name of Cyril was first given to the grantee's great uncle. Sir Cyril
Wyche, sometime (1693-95) one of the Lords Justices (Chief Governors) of Ireland,
who was b. at Constantinople (where his father. Sir Peter Wyche, was Ambassador)
about 1635, his godfather being " Cyril," the well-known Patriarch of that city.
He purchased an estate at Hookwold, in Norfolk, and d. 29 Dec. 1707, leaving
issue. His widow d. 11 Dec. 1723.

chased by Cyril Wyohe, his great uncle. (See note ■'a" above), with which he
had nothing to do.

was a Commissioner of Excise, 1735-42, and was Governor of Barbadoes, 1742
till recalled in 1747. At the Coronation of George III, 23 Sep. 1761, he
personated the Duke of Normandy, (a) being accordingly Knighted. He was
F.R.S. ; was also an amateur architect, and incurred very great expenses in
building and in costly entertainments. He, consequently in 1769, had to sell
the estate of Rokeby,('') which had been 160 years in his family. He m. firstly,

Churchill in his poem of The Ghost, erroneously assigns to him the wrong
Duchy —
" Till how he did a Dukedom gain.
And Robinson was AquiTAiN."
(i>) He had, 1725-30, rebuilt the mansion there; enclosed the park with a stone
wall, planted many forest trees, and built the great bridge, which there spans the
Tees. " He practically made the Roheby, of which Sir Walter Scott wrote, and
which the tourist visits." [Diet. Nat. Biogr.].
(>:) He was "a specious empty man," with a great talent for flattery, and for
forcing his acquaintance on every great man. (See N. 8c Q., 1st S., x, 164 and
294). He was unusually tall and thin, being generally known as "Long Sir
Thomas," in allusion to which nickname and to his lack of humour Lord
Chesterfield wrote —
" Unlike to Robinson shall be my song,
It shall be witty — it shall not be Long."

(h) " The last Baronet created by a patent m Latin was Sir Gilbert Heathcote,
of London, the date of whose patent was 17 Jan. 1732. The next, Baronet created
was Mr. Edward Turner, of Ambrosden, whose patent, dated 24 Aug. 1783 [sic, but
evidently a mistake for 1733], is in English, and in the following form, which form
corresponds very approximately to the patents in Latin, which succeeded the
earliest patents of King James I." [F. W. Pixley's History of the Baronetage
(p.32), published by Duckworth and Co., London, 1900]. It is to be observed,
however, that the creation of Sir William Heathcote, on 16 Aug. 1733 (which is
in that work ignored), comes between the two abovenamed creations.

Ralph) Payne, of the same,(a) was i. in that island, in which he afterwards
became a planter, and having obtained a considerable estate therein by grant

Mac Arthur, President of the Council at St. Christopher's. He d. Dec. 1738,

1 801 . 14 Dec. 1720, was one of seven brothers who were " ed. at Hackney
under Mr. Newcome "C^) ; sue. to the Baronetcy, Dec. 1738. He,
about 1770, purchased the estate of Tempsford, Beds ; was Sheriff of that county
1772-73, and Lieut.-Col. of the Beds militia. He m., probably in 1771,(<i) Maria,
da. of John Keeling, of Pottons, Beds, by which lady he had had twelve children
born before wedlock, between 1754 and 1768. He d. s.p. legit. 31 Jan. ISOl,^)
aged 80, when the Baronetcy became extinct. Will pr. 1801. His widow d.
18 May 1802, at Tempsford Hall. Wfll pr. 1 TO4.
The Baronetcy was, however, assumed as below : —
///. 1801. Sib John Payne, Baronet [1737], (f), of Temps-
ford aforesaid, eldest of the illegit. sons of the late Baronet
by Maria Keeling abovenamed, 6. about 1754 ; sue. to the BaronetcyiJ) (as
also to the family estate), 31 Jan. 1801, his right thereto being never dis-
puted by his younger brother, Peter Payne, below mentioned. He m. iu
1792, Mary, 2d da. of Sir Philip MoNonx, 5th Baronet [1660], by Elizabeth,
da. of Ambrose Riddell, of Eversholt, Beds. He d. 25 May 1803, suddenly,
at the Swan Hotel, Bedford. Will pr. 1804. His widow m. 20 Jan. 1811,
Joseph Francis Buckworth, Lieut.-Col. Cheshire militia (living 1841),
whom she survived, and d. 22 March 1850 at Sandy Place, Beds., aged 84.
Will pr. May 1850.
(a) His elder br., Abraham Payne, was grandfather of Sir Ralph Payne, K.B.,
cr. 1 Oct. 1795 Baron Lavington [I.], and of William Payne, afterwards Payne-
Gallwey, cr. a Baronet, 8 Dec. 1812.
(ii) Abraham Payne, the 1st son, m. before 1741, a da. of Jeffrey Brown, Chief
Justice of St. Christopher's, and d. v. p. and s.p.m.
(c) Betham's Bm-oweiasre [1803].
('') He applied for a special license for marriage, 25 April 1771 [the date of
9 Feb. 1771 is erased] making oath that he was above 40 and a Bachelor
and that " Maria Keeling" was above 30 and a Spinster, both being of Boxton,
near Tempsford, Beds. There is, however, " no evidence of the marriage having
taken plaice" [note to a MS. pedigree of this family in Bulman's Collections,
" J.P. 81, fo. 405," in the College of Arms]. The date of 1754 is assigned to this
marriage in Playfair's Baronetage [1811] and that of 1761 in more modern
Baronetages [e.jr., that of Burke in 1841], this last date being apparently assumed
from the Chancery decree in which Peter Payne (born Feb. 1762) was said to
have been the first legitimate child.
{") In the Annual Beg. for 1771, under the date of " 16 Oct. 1771," the death
is recorded of " Sir Giles Payne, Knt.," as having occurred " lately at St. Kitts."
This is presumably a mistake for Sir Gillies Payne, Baronet, whose death, however,
did not occur till " 31 Jan. 1801, aged 80," as is recorded in the vol. of that work
for the year 1801.

as " natural son."('') He was declared, by a finding, 7 June 1828, of one of
the Masters of the Court of Chancery, to be the eldest son bom in wedlock
of his father (whose marriage is therein stated to have been " about
1761 "), and, accordingly, assumed the Baronetcy ; this finding, however,
was reversed a few months later, in Jan. 1829, and the question of his
legitimacy, as also of that of John, his elder brother, was directed to be
tried, though such trial never took place. He was M.P. for Beds (in the
Whig interest), 1831-32. He m. in 1789, Elizabeth Sarah, only da. of
Samuel Steward, of Stourton Castle, co. Stafford. He d. 23 Jan. 1843, in
his 82d year, at Blunham House. Will pr. March 1843.
(") According to the assumption of that dignity in and after 1801.
Q>) It appears that the certificate of his baptiswi was produced before the
Masler in Chancery who gave the decree in 1828 as to his legitimacy, and that
the statement therein that he was a " natural son " was got over by the ludicrous
argument that the marriage of the child's parents had been so private as to be
unknown to the minister of his parish, who, being accustomed to enter all the
children of Sir Gillies Payne as bastards, entered, in error, this one alao as such,
without any question to the parents or any supervision on their part. Five suSh
children (1757-61) had been previously entered as " natural."

(a) This description (as also all the subsequent ones that are placed within
inverted commas) is the one given in the Gazette notice, as abstracted in the
Animal Uegister of the year indicated. The date of the Gazette notice for the
creation of Gideon is 19 May 1759.
C^) He was a financier on a large scale, raising in 1745, as much as £1,700,000
for the Government, in 1749 effecting the consolidation of the National Debt
and raising various loans during the seven years war which beg-an in 1756.
(c) " A ridiculous step to remove some part of the prejudice against him "
[as being of Jewish origin], but " the cloven foot is sadly exposed by the
preservation of Sampson." [Forde to the Duke of Rutland, 12 Aug. 1786]. His
wife was grand-daughter of Robert Wilmot, by Elizabeth, da. and h. of Edward
Mardley, of Eardley, co. Stafford, but inasmuch as Lady Gideon had a brother,
John Wilmot, afterwards Eardley (whose son was cr. u, Baronet in 1821), he (and
not his said sister) represented the family of Eardley.

Ireland, in the Fortescne Papers, vol. i. [Hist. MSS. Com., 13th report. Appendix,

C) The title and property, worth £30,000 a year, were, however, claimed a few
years after the death of the 4th Baronet by a clever impostor, styling himself
" Sir Richard Htigh Smyth, Baronet," and claiming to be s. and h. of Sir Hugh
Smyth, the 3d Baronet, by Jane Vandenbergh, who was m. 19 May 1796, and who
d. in giving him birth, 2 Feb. 1797, at Warminster, Wilts. His real name,
however, proved to be John Provis, son of a carpenter at Warminster. On the
death of the 3d Baronet in 1824, his alleged father, he claimed to have had the
right to succeed him. His evidence, supported by an intricate series of perjuries
and forged documents, was found false, Aug. 1853, when he was sentenced, at
the Gloucester Assizes, to twenty years' transportation. He apparently derived
much knowledge of the Smyth family by having m. in 1814 one of the domestic
servants at Ashton Court. [See Animal Reg. for 1853, pp. 308-330, for an
elaborate account of this celebrated trial, entitled " Smyth v, Smyth and others."]
('') The estates devolved on Florence, the elder of his two sisters and coheirs.
She was b. 27 May 1769; m. (as his 2d wife), 11 May 1799, John Upton, of
Ingmire Hall, co. York (d. 3 Jan. 1832), took the name of Smyth in 1849,
and d. 15 July 1852, aged 83, being sue. by her grandson, John Henry Greville
Upton, who accordingly took the name of Smyth in 1852, and was cr. a Baronet
(as of Long Ashton, Somerset), 25 April 1859, a dignity which became extinct on
his death, 27 Sep. 1901.
(") See p. 125, note " a," under " Lloyd."
C) His election was petitioned against, on the ground of his being disqualified by
not residing in the city, but was confirmed.
(<>) By her he is said to have had a son, Charles George Blakiston, who d. unm.
and v.p., in 1758. It is possible that the burial of " Margaret Blaokston, woman,"
19 Aug. 1725, at St. Martiu's-in-the-Fields (where his 2d wife and he himself was
buried), may refer to this wife.

(*") He was author of some juvenile poems.
(») According to " P. G. H. Price " [N. ^ Q., 5th S., iv, 397], " in 1762, there
was a Banking firm in London styled Sir George Amyand, Staples and Mercer,
carrying on business in Comhill, near to Graoechurch street. In 1776, this firm
became Staples, Baron Dimsdale & Co., 50 Comhill, which now [1875] flourishes
under the style of Dimsdale & Co." Either the date " 1762 " or the " Sir " is
apparently, incorrect, for the Baronetcy dates from 1764, and no previous Knight-
hood was apparently conferred. In Price's London Bankers (p. 52) the firm in
1762 is described as " Messrs. Amyand, Staples and Mercer."

Engineer of the Fleet in the expedition to Carthagena, 1741 ; Governor of
Louiabourg, 1746-48, reduced Fort Louis in St. Domingo, but was unsuccessful in
an attack of Cuba ; Rear- Admiral of the White, 1747 ; defeated a Spanish Fleet in
Sep. 1748, but was reprimanded by a Court Martial in Deo. 1749, for mismanage-
ment in the action. He was M.P. for Gatton, Nov. 1749 to 1752 ; was Governorof
Jamaica, 1752-58 ; Vice-Admiral of the Blue, 1755, and Admiral thereof 1760,
being cr. a Baronet, as above, 31 Oct. 1765. Rear-Admiral of Great Britain,

President of the Admiralty, and resided for five or six years at St. Petersbnrgh.
He was of Level Hill, near Windsor, Berks. He m. firstly, 22 Dec. 1740, Mary,
sister of Sir John Gay Alleyne, 1st Baronet [1769], da. of John Alleyne, of
(") Betham's Baronetage [1803] where, also, are copious extracts from parish
registers, etc., relating to this family.
(*>) Wraxall in his Historical Memoirs [vol. i, pp. 265-266], says that " he spoke
with great good sense though not with brilliancy," but that " from some unfortu-
nate circumstances in his private life, never could obtain a patient or a candid
hearing in Parliament." In 1780 he, " like Wilkes, refused to concur in the vote
of thanks to Lord Comwallis," on the ground of its giving approbation to the
American War. In 1784, however, he had joined the party of Pitt. He is thus
spoken off in The Bolliad in the lines which commiserate the trials of the Speaker
(Charles Wolfran Cornewall).
" There Cornewall sits, and ah ! compelled by fate,
Must sit for ever, through the long debate,
Painful pre-eminence ! he hears, 'tis true,
Fox, North and Burke — but hears Sir Joseph too."
(o) He was author of several poems and treatises, and a contributor to the
Oent. Mag. and other periodicals.

(d) " Charles Godfrey Wolff, a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire,'' was cr.
D.C.L. by the University of Oxford, 9 July 1793. This was apparently a brother
of the 1st Baronet, who, like him, had, possibly, been cr. a Baron of the Holy
Roman Empire. See Playfair's Baronetage [1811], but the account there seems
inaccurate. That Baron (though of the same name) most certainly could not be
the " Charles Godfrey Wolff, born at Narva in 1701, and died in 1783, aged
83," who was father of the 1st Baronet.

(") The cause of his leaving is thus "painfully adverted" to in some verses he
sent from " Tobago, Oct. 1814," to Sir George Lee, 6th Baronet [1660], from
whom he had rented Hartwell House : —
" When sudden, on one hapless day,
A calamity happened so grievous, that yet
T'were painful to write, tho' I can not forget.
What from Hartwell then forced me away."
('') This Charles is said to have been s. of Capt. Thomas Lawrence, R.N.,
Governor of Greenwich (b. 1680), Betham's Baronetage [1803], and "great
grand-nephew of Henry Lawrence, the Lord President of Cromwell's Council in
1653." [Burke's Baronetage, 1905].
(°) The date of his death is often given as " 10 Jan. 1811," but it is clear that
he was alive iu Oct. 1814 (see note """ above), and his death " 10 Jan. 1815,

conjectured, in the Diet. Nat. Biog., that this pain may have " rendered him
irritable, and led to his quarrel with Keppel." In that work, however, there is
no mention of this "desperate action." The wounds, whether received during
action or not, were, however, undoubtedly caused by the explosion of an arm-chest.

hence the estates were not left to him. These Baronets never had any land "

(c) See p. 113, note " a," under " Gideon." The date of the Gazette notice
for Warren and Boyd is 31 May, and for Leith and Etherington, 11 Nov. 1775.
(^) In the able account of him in the Diet. Nat. Biogr., some curious mistakes
occur. He is called " 4th " son, and it is stated that " as a lad, young Warren
was intended for the church," and that " the death of his elder brother changing
his prospects, changed also his views, and on 24 April 1771 he was entered on
the books of the Marlborough guardship in the Medway as an able seaman.
From this time his residence at Cambridge was curiously intermittent." He,
however, never had an elder brother, being born but ten months after the
marriage (14 Nov. 1752, at Risley, co. Derby), of his parents, and inasmuch as, at
the age of 9, he, by his father's death, came into considerable estates and a large
fortune, he is not likely to have contemplated taking holy orders, indeed in
early life he was considered a great "buck" or "dandy," and his predilections
were nautical. Also, his mother's name was Bridget (not "Anne"), and it
was his great grandfather (not his grandfather), who by marriage with Anne
(not " Alice") Borlase, brought the estates of Little Marlow and Medmenham,
Bucks, and of Stratton Audley, Oxon, into the family, she being j'st. sister and
coheir (not "Only da. and heiress") of Sir John Borlase, the 2d and last
Baronet [1642].
